Xylan Use and Manufacturing

Xylan (xylan) is a polyfive-carbon sugar, a type of hemicellulose, widely present in plant cell walls, and is second only to cellulose in carbohydrates in nature. The structural unit of xylan is xylose, and the long chain of xylose connected by xylosidic bonds becomes the main chain, and some groups on the main chain are replaced by side chain groups. These side chain groups have acetyl and arabinose groups. , Galactosyl, glucuronic acid, coumaric acid, ferulic acid, etc., xylan is then connected to the rest of the plant components such as cellulose, lignin, and pectin through side chain groups to form a dense structure. It constitutes the supporting skeleton of the plant.
